Two things:
The forum is not the bastion of activity it once was. That was a topic that many of us found interesting and I think it brought some much needed activity here. More importantly, it was discussion of a mature topic and not some random anime / inane dragonball z discussion
We're not the kids we once were. We can handle an argument without getting our feelings hurt, we don't need to be policed to such extreme levels. Let the argument run its course and stop trying to preempt having peoples feelings hurt, or whatever it is you're trying to do.
Also, may I just ask why Pain, someone whose never even around, still has mod? Don't get me wrong, I like Pain, but come on.
